What notable structure did Stoddart report in Science 2004?
Molecular Borromean rings
DNA double helix
Graphene sheets
Carbon nanotubes
Answer
Molecular Borromean rings, reported by Stoddart in Science 2004, are a remarkable type of mechanically interlocked structure composed of three interlocking rings. Each ring is threaded through the other two, but none of the rings can be separated without breaking the others. This intricate architecture allows for unique properties and potential applications in areas such as molecular machines and drug delivery.
